The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Great recipe! I have made it several times. We like things really chocolatey- so I double the chocolate/Kahlua sauce and put another layer on top. Also I found that a 4.9oz package of chocolate wafer cookies is plenty- 9oz was a thick crust.
